Abstract
When a laser diode and a directional coupler switch are combined into one structure, the device physics becomes complicated. This work reports some experimental results indicating that the switching function is accompanied by the lasing mode selection mechanism, and that it is enhanced by a longitudinal asymmetry between the coupling channels, namely, by making the lengths of two operating channels different. Such a device exhibits wavelength tunability and self-oscillation besides the enhanced switching effect.
